- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually mix into the dry ingredients until just blended—avoid overmixing.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about half an inch thick. Use a donut cutter or two round cookie cutters to shape the donuts.
